[CLvsHyunA]

[nicholsonpr]

i just don't understand how anyone could dislike this video

[bboydarknight]

Dope video! Dope editing! But that doesnt look like New Jack style to me...Just sayin...Keep up the great work though guys!

[KingArthur13th]

The cars almost look like toys.

[HarryBeast1990]

Alot of people say that dancing diferent is not knowing how to dance....and I hate that because they dont know shit about dance...everybody has there own style that you cant change.YAKfilms has a lot of styles never seen and they own.RESPECT for that :)

[bgirlsina]

it's funny how long the car have to wait from 0:54 till the clip ends

[amide22]

The cars look fake... holy shit how did they do that!!! 

[trelawny2223]

THAT WAS CRAAAZY! I KNOW I WOULD HAVE DONE THAT TOO IN THE MIDDLE OF GINZA CROSS WALK!

[kim5106]

To everyone wondering the song -

it's AMINALS, by Bath.

this whole time, i thought it was "animals" too.

[LocoDancarino]

THEY WENT IN

[meriland1]

[STFUbrttny]

unqiue beat , :)

[Trzciniaczek]

Music "Animals" by Baths.

[Dairren1444]

[92Leftovers]

voces soa brutais

[phamjohnny11]

i was trippin out ..in the beginning it looked like idk fakish

[omarluvnyc]

police at 0:27 lol

[yerk3]

we are elephants

we love giraffes

[JonathanTNguyen]

If you guys don't know, they were the originators that made new jack swing big in the 80's and 90's

[cooliegee]

@JonathanTNguyen Originators? Hammer & Joy were not even dancing during that time, I was. And for the record my brother Chris "Shaik" Mathis is the one who was rocking things during the official "New Jack Swing" era. "NJS" has labeled his style of dance because of his association with "Guy" & "Wrecks-n-Effect" check the video's: "Groove Me", "Round & Round" (Guy), "Just Got Paid"( Johnny Kemp)...etc. YAKfilms is doing a good job @ documenting the latest movement of street dance culture.

[tictacsinyomouth]

Them vs les twins?????

[inthemusicproblem]

@tictacsinyomouth Twins Win. :)

[tictacsinyomouth]

@inthemusicproblem yea dey would lol

[gigz707]

i like all styles of dance

[superstitionMex]

with what lense u filmed the clip? =) and what a camera?

[1kilex]

@superstitionMex From what i know, It has something to do with a special lens to make everything look smaller, i think its called a tilt camera.

[SyrtakiVampir]

The song is called aminals^^

[splittrain]

hey all, this is a blur effect used in many videos which blurs the top and bottom of the frames to create a "toy"-ish looking to them

[RastaMonkey44]

eARTh.... that says it all

[thentantt]

Everything looks so surreal

[sickunderscore]

If you're going to splice the track at 0:24 and 0:43, at least keep the rhythm intact. This is butchering.

[mkmikhail]

yak films u make so much awesome vids...my fav vid of all time is the Les Twins

[pedrogatin12]

fodastick

[BassLineCY]

What a great video. The dancers were really cool, and I freaked out when I read the title. I love Baths. :)

Song: Baths - Aminals

[Kartiel]

10/10

[dexOn22]

Does everything look like toys on this vid?or is it just me? O.o

[crazyunderworld]

@dexOn22 No.. I seriously paused it cause the the cars and etc looked like toys.

o.o its like ''mindddfucckkk''. lol :D

[Fancylock]

What a delightful effect =D Makes the city seem like toys moving along in a toy manner, yah know?

[elparkoureslomejor]

@Fancylock it's so amazing

[topendoodle]

Hope you don't mind the 'criticism,' I'm just trying to give honest feedback.

I do have a question though-- is the blurriness an effect that you used computer software to make, or was it done with some kind of camera hardware during the filming process?

[topendoodle]

It's cool that you're trying to be creative with these videos, but I think you need to be a bit more careful about it because I think you're toeing the line between artistic and annoying.

It's just a little uncomfortable to watch this (and that Les Twins LA video that also uses that blurry focus changing effect) because of how our eyes automatically work to try and bring objects into focus-- it's frustrating and unsettling when it doesn't work because of how the video is.

[MrVue]

I really like the video effects. Reminds me of Adult Swim bumps. And Coachella.

[elparkoureslomejor]

music please? :D

[Onitori206]

Dance and film are both forms of art and I think you guys have perfected it. Keep doing what you guys do, it's awesome.

[dablack69]

how do i get the whole song?



[phoenixfade]

@dablack69 try Hypem.com just type th name of the tune in the blog search engine it should pop up

[dablack69]

@phoenixfade thanks a million bro.

have a nice day!

[NoSenss]

When simplicity is the key concept in filming, the artists portrait comes to life, very beautiful video Yak.

i like it when dance videos not only display the dancers in a public enviroment but when the enviroment and the music set a certain mood. it makes everything seem so much more earthy if that makes sense.

[ksandr88]

cool

[TheKulturekidsTV]

Its real dope! I really like that you guys also have underground dancers!

[raziell]

u guys always have the sickest instrumentals

[LOLFunnyBlack]

I feel the art and music yall produce in these videos much love shown here Fam

[imseeingatherapist]

Every single time I watch a yak film I'm thinking to myself; wow, i'd like to buy a camera. I want to run outside and just capture the moment! Then again, I've watched so many of them and I always end up with the same conclusion. I rather stay here watching. Cause your movies are fucking enchanting!!

[FunkySoulStory]

Excellent !

[brianowitsz]

the opening was dope as hell. The only thing I can put a finger on was the actual dance-part, it seemed rushed and kinda off-beat. But other than that, I loved it.

[Darius360]

love the song choice, love the angle, love the story,

if no one else enjoyed it, i did.

[BoCkaCho]

Baths - Hall

[hellzone102]

DANCE IS ART PEOPLE :D

[hellzone102]

@YAKfilms i love how YOU DO STAND OUT FROM EVERYUONE ELSE yes i spelled it wrong im being lazy and not correcting, love the song :) love your vids they actually inspire me to want to dance but i dont have that opertunity... im just bad at it lol

[firebluenew]

i love the music . what's the name of this song ?

[ajfrank28]

It was ok. Nothing too spectacular in this one imo. I know ya'll capable of pulling off something better though. I have a feeling ya'll be pulling off some more great ones soon. All of them cant be a hit right

[WMuntouchable06]

that was sick!!!! keep it up yak!!!!

[Aimqail]

yak film has the best editing of dance clips.

but not always the best dancers, but they got all style.

keep it alive.

[voltrumiks]

@Aimqail who cares if they're not top dancers...

they express themselves and thats what is important :)

[jibbs00]

OMG yes CERULEAN! thought no one else knew about this album =)

[xXKidUniqueXx]

i second that Les Twins request,i do want to watch more Les Twins,they are my favorite dancers

[dodoggggg]

YAK we want more of les twins

[BlueInGreen1959]

Who can deny this? Cool music and a cool video. YAKfilms make real things.

[xxxUniiKxxx]

U guys are being too harsh on YAK, he records what he wants to record. if yall havin problems of what he puts up, then go n record your own shit, or watch otha videos. lol

[Nd2pwn]

I mean YAK is one of the most, if not the most creative filmmakers in dance out there today. Its not being way too artsy, there's no such thing in my opinion. And the fact that they don't completely suck up to their fans 24/7 isn't a bad thing. It means they're not fake... you should try it sometime

[kinghakeemhase305]

i like it there is no such thing as being too artsy. Sick Video OVerall

[cumulo99]

so sick yak!!! such wicked tunes and filming....and of course Hammer and Joy killing it! Keep 'em coming

[kidpoes]

your cameras ar so HD it makes the cars look fake btw what style of dance is this called

[Maxmus050]

@kidpoes its called '' Tilt-Shift '' a special kind of filming that the people and cars look miniature. ;)

[hellzBrother]

@Maxmus050 I don't this is is t/s ? :/

[rafferafferaffe]

Amazing! Beautiful clip, beautiful angle, and a fucking awesome danz! =) Peace

[jaki2455]

really good

[elliot019]

I don't give a F@?K what anybody says...i like this clip,its style and quality...Keep it up YAK.

[oitotheworld23]

yak sucks now. it's trying to be way too artsy

[YAKfilms]

@oitotheworld23 haha it used to be that haters made us famous.. now they get us paid! thank you ;) art is how we started in this business, its what made us stand out from the other dance videos shot on cell phones in front of someone's garage.. we're never going to let that go... and know that we read all of your comments muahahaha

[Xcessive7]

@YAKfilms Thats funny cuz i watch every one of their videos even the none dancing ones because their editing is the most entertaining.... a video about Birds i was like "boring" but they make it exotic and intresting

[Bwhaaa]

@YAKfilms "we read all our comments"? so read this,

1. oitotheworld is right, the videos are not as good as Dance under the rain, this one should be your benchmark video.

2. you need to understand him before talking to him like that.

3. Get you paid? uuuuh ok I unsubscribe :) get yourself another subscriber :)

[SixBubbles]

@YAKfilms whether or not its true, do you really wanna be known as the jerks who dont care what the fans think? i enjoy the artsy bits sometimes, but i REALLY just wanna see some DANCING! do whatever you like, its your channel, but you should give at least a little damn about what we are saying. if you dont agree or whatever, fine but dont be mean about it in the comments. if you are reading them, you know they are saying these things because they love you guys and want the best! think about it

[MichaelFirman]

@SixBubbles Show respect if you want to get it back. The commenter in question said "yak sucks" and that it's too artistic? That's the criticism? I'd be fine with YakFilms being mean to him, except their reply wasn't even that mean... You should re-evaluate who the jerk was in that correspondence.

[SixBubbles]

@MichaelFirman im guessing you think yak is the only page with idiot followers. those idiots rule youtube. you wouldnt believe some of the comments ive seen, so one person saying "yak sucks" is stupid. yea its not constructive, but the majority of youtbue hasnt left middle school. my entire point was to listen to your fans, not disregard them. and seriously if you are over the age of 12 pulling the whole "but he said we suck" thing is sad. dont want comments like that? close your comment board

[MichaelFirman]

@SixBubbles I'm not sure I understand the disagreement. You want them to listen to their fans, but "know that we read all of your comments" isn't satisfying that? The fact that they're posting means they're engaged with the userbase. How were they supposed to "listen"? Should they have removed the video, admitted inadequacy, or shut down their company? You've acknowledged the comment was stupid and not constructive, so why fault them for biting back? I thought it was all rather tame.

[SixBubbles]

@MichaelFirman i love that you didnt read my comment. im not going to repeat myself beyond this: fans make you, they say mean or stupid shit, get over it you want to keep them. thats all im saying. dont justify being rude to them because they said something first. they always do. the second half of your comment was effing stupid so im not going to reply to it.

[MichaelFirman]

@SixBubbles Thank you for replying in a manner so far above those "age of 12" standards you criticize others of not reaching. Truly refreshing.

[SixBubbles]

@MichaelFirman the fact that you wont leave me alone now says loads about what age you are. grow up. its effing youtube, not end of days.

[simpleisassimpledoes]

@YAKfilms

oitotheworld23 is crazy. Yak has always been about art whether it be dancing or short stories. Everything you guys do is beautiful and inspiring. Keep up the good work!

[hellzBrother]

@YAKfilms Nice reply, may I say. I really like your dance videos. Really much. I just think this one was maybe Too short ;)

[hellzone102]

@hellzBrother yes to short :) but amazing for how long it is :D

[oitotheworld23]

@YAKfilms ha that's cool. if it's your thing it's your thing. for me personally, i still like a lot of your films (i was overgeneralizing in the previous comment), but the really "artsy" stuff doesn't do it for me. some of my favorites have been the street battle and most of the stuff w/ les twins.

[TheKulturekidsTV]

@oitotheworld23 Dancing is about art... Dancing IS art... So the filming just makes it MORE art!

[oitotheworld23]

@TheKulturekidsTV yeah i know some people think so. i prefer videos that are more stripped down and raw instead of in this style.

[marioaziz]

@YAKfilms I agree with you. The only way to move forward is to challenge the boundaries that common thinking puts on our way. Sometimes we'll make mistakes but once the style and originality is achieved a new world shows up!! Keep on going!!

[Miister00]

@YAKfilms WHUAHWUHAHUAWHAUHAUHAUAHUAHU! you raped the comment of oitotheworld23

[nuciko96]

@YAKfilms hah great! it's amazing how people can get what they want... and I like that "muahahaha" in the end (: wish you everything good!

[voltrumiks]

@YAKfilms heey i used to make videos in fron of a garage :(

[masteroli47]

@oitotheworld23 maybe you are just to dumb to understand art dude...

[wotiswrong]

@oitotheworld23 joker, this is what sets them apart!

.... majority love what they do - so don't change it YAK! ;)

[Heliosicle]

@oitotheworld23 i love the artsy stuff, differentiates it from everything else..

[209cgrant]

@oitotheworld23 Dance is art you 'tard

[209cgrant]

@oitotheworld23 That's waht dance is fool ART!

[XxKilomexX]

@oitotheworld23 Honestly if it wasnt for the art, i wouldn't be watching any of Yak Film's videos

[closman8896]

@oitotheworld23 dance is an art.



[wazup80]

Like the style of the film, but not feeling the dance moves.  Maybe just not used to the style of dance out there?

[BeAddictedToMe]

Tokyo looks like a toy city))

[zeloskie]

[SATURDAYateSUNDAY]

[SATURDAYateSUNDAY]

[OMGLouiE]

[thasco]

Big up Yak.. Diggin' the vibe in all your vids. Keep capturing what makes life interesting. This one was like an snack. Bring back more of these guys.

[SomeBlackLatino]

[Atillarenzo]
